Our feet do not generally
get the attention
they deserve. This may be because for
most of the time they are hidden in shoes
and don't contribute to our overall appearance.
In societies where shoes are never worn,
foot problems only affect 3% of the adult
population. When footwear is worn, this
rises to a staggering 80%. Neglecting
the feet can cause pain and can have
serious consequences. Many cases of neglect
are caused by wearing shoes that do not
fit properly. Some shoes are simply not
designed to fit the natural shape of
the foot.
The feet support the body and
have to take considerable strain. In
the average
lifetime your feet will carry you 70,000
miles! We tend to only notice our feet
when we have a problem. However, they
are the foundation of our body and are
vital to our well-being.
Whether you have a problem now, or wish
to prevent problems in the future, you
are advised to visit a qualified chiropodist.
